I believe that people who commit murder several times are in need of help, and can change over time if given the proper treatment. Most people I know don't think that way. Ted Bundy killed ALOT of people, and when sent to prison he was treated badly. Sure, he also hurt the families of his victims, but don't you think that everyone deserves a chance to change? Do you think that Ted Bundy could have been helped to change into a non-killer instead of killed on the electric chair? Whats you're opinion on this?

I met Ted Bundy while working in Fl. I have worked with a LOT of murderers and usually I can find some redeeming quality in them if I look hard enough. NOT so with Bundy. He had the most vacuous eyes of any murderer I have worked with. Like a shark. I think by the time he was caught, it was too late. Maybe had he been caught earlier, he could've been helped. By the time he hit FL, too late.

This is an interesting question. If Ted Bundy was born a psychopath and diagnosed it would have been better for the public if some way to control him could have been used. Obviously when a lion kills, we know it has to because it was evolved that way and must eat to live. We are sure that it has no sympathy for its victims or it would not start eating them before they are dead. In that way Ted Bundy could be considered innocent due to diminished or non-existent capacity for empathy. I certainly don't think that Ted Bundy could change.

Ted Bundy was once a very handsome man with a professional job. He worked on (I believe) a mayoral campaign in the Seattle area and he had a wife who never knew of his secret life of going out and killing young women. Those things aside, I think Ted Bundy is where he belongs. He will not be tormenting any people in heaven but he continues to torment the living as he exists in our minds and memories as an ugly reminder of the unfathomable, darker, monster-like aspects of human nature. And I assume he'll continue to live on for hundreds of years in future American folk lore. By his atrocious actions Ted Bundy has probably achieved immortality, just not the Christian immortality he had probably hoped for when he made the remorse filled statement you quoted.

I'll tell you what really messed Ted up: He was a child of incest, His mother and he shared the same father. He was raised by grandparents and thought they were his parents. Who he thought most of his life was just his older sister actually was his mother, get it? His dad was also his Grandpa.
I don't know how he ever found this out, but when he did he was already an adult.
I hardly blame him for flipping out, but I guess they would have had to incarcerate him all his life for what he did to all those poor young women. They did him a favor killing him.
Anyway, the last of those murders happened 30 years ago, so please get over poor Ted.

Ted Bundy was a serial rapist and murderer. He was fried like a piece of bacon which is EXACTLY what he deserved.
If you want these people like him released, let them come live with you.

Bundy raped and murdered scores of young women in the U.S.1974 and 1978. Bundy eventually confessed to thirty murders, although the actual total of victims remains unknown. Typically, Bundy would rape then murder, or murder then rape (which qualifies him as a necrophiliac), his victims by bludgeoning, and sometimes by strangulation. Bundy was a psychopath and he only stopped killing because he got caught.

No you are totally whacked out. I have always been amazed at people who are attracted to people like Bundy and other brutal killers. And often note that they couch this almost sexual (and sometimes sexual) attraction to brutal killers in academic terms to mask the bizarre fascination.

I hate and love to say it at the same time. I am totally into capital punishment.
You cannont help someone who doesn't want to be helped or more importantly who don't think they need help. Giving them what I call "happy pills" will only mask the bad within. Same rules apply for rehab patients, if you don't want it then it will not help you.
